Strong Firewall Protection, Open at the Core
Firecradle is a firewall appliance that runs on Ubuntu Linux. It checks every packet that enters or leaves your network. It splits your network into safe VLAN zones. It gives you secure VPN links to other sites, and lets you manage many locations from one screen. Unlike FortiGate, SonicWall, or Firewalla, you are never locked into one company's software.
Complete Firewall Coverage
Firecradle handles firewall rules, deep packet checks, VLANs, routing, and VPN in one box. You do not need a separate box for each job.

How it worksWhen Attackers Come Knocking, Firecradle Stands Guard.
Most firewalls only check the port and address of each packet. Firecradle checks every connection instead. It tracks connections and inspects each packet closely. A detection engine watches for port scans, flood attacks, and known malware in real time. Your traffic stays clean, and your rules stay in your control. You're always the first to know when something looks wrong.
Everything You Need, Out of the Box
Every core security and network feature comes built into the base appliance. That includes deep packet inspection, VPN, threat prevention, and multi-site management.
Firewall & Deep Packet Inspection
Firecradle tracks every connection. It checks each packet from layer 3 up to layer 7. You can set detailed rules without slowing down normal traffic.
Fast, Multi-Gigabit Speed
Firecradle inspects and routes traffic at full network speed. Link bonding and VLANs let it grow from one office to many sites.
VPN & Secure Remote Access
Firecradle supports IPsec, WireGuard, and OpenVPN. These build encrypted tunnels between sites or for remote workers.
See Everything On Your Network
Firecradle tracks connections and traffic flow. Live dashboards show you every session moving through the firewall.
Signature-Based Threat Prevention
Firecradle uses rules and known attack signatures to catch threats. It flags port scans, flood attacks, and known malware. You can see exactly why each alert fired.
Centralized Multi-Site Management
Manage every appliance from one cloud dashboard. Push out policies and check device health from one screen. It also supports managed service providers, called MSPs, with any number of clients.
A real screen for every job
These are real screens from the product, not drawings. The same clear layout runs the firewall, VPNs, traffic, and every site you manage.

Threat Detection Built Into Every Packet
Firecradle does more than filter packets by port. It inspects, segments, and blocks traffic in layers. It uses rules and known attack signatures to catch threats. This stops attacks before they reach your network.
Signature-Based Malware & Exploit Detection
IncludedEvery connection is checked against known malware and exploit signatures. The intrusion prevention engine does this at full speed. It never needs to check with the cloud.
VLAN Segmentation & Isolation
IncludedSplit your network into separate VLANs. If one device or site gets hacked, it can't reach the rest of your network.
Connection Tracking & Anomaly Detection
IncludedFirecradle tracks every connection. It flags port scans, floods, and other odd traffic the moment they start. You're always the first to know.
DDoS & Port Scan Prevention
IncludedFirecradle spots scanning and flood attacks using rules. It blocks the bad traffic automatically, before it reaches the rest of your network.
Complete Network Security
Firecradle mixes the open nature of pfSense and OPNsense with the multi-site management you get from FortiGate, SonicWall, or Firewalla. You get both, without being locked into one company's licenses.
Advanced DPI & IPS
Deep packet inspection works with an intrusion prevention system to detect and block threats.
Threat Prevention & Protection
Rules and known attack signatures protect you from malware, exploits, port scans, and flood attacks.
Centralized Management
Manage many firewalls from one easy dashboard. Set policies, check logs, and view reports in one place.
High Performance
Multi-gigabit speed and link bonding mean packet checks never slow down your network.
VPN & Remote Access
Built-in IPsec, WireGuard, and OpenVPN connect your sites and remote workers securely.
Compliance & Logging
Detailed logs and full reports help you meet compliance rules.
